hartley arts group
Established in the village of Hartley Wintney, Hampshire, Hartley Arts Group
(HAG) is now celebrating its 47th year. Since its formation in 1975, HAG’s
membership list has been growing steadily, most of them living in and around the
Hartley Wintney area. Though we also have members in Wales, France, Australia
and New Zealand! In November of 2010 the old Hartley Arts Group unincorporated
association dissolved and became Hartley Arts Group, a private charitable
company, Company No. 7214087 and Charity No. 1136586. What do we do? HAG exists
to provide something for amateur dramatists and musicians to get their teeth
into. But that doesn’t just include acting and musical performance. HAG’s
members encompass a variety of skills across the board to be able to produce
high-quality and rewarding amateur productions, including directing, acting,
singing, stage-managing, catering, carpentry, publicity, lighting, sound,
painting, cleaning and anything else needed to put on a good performance.
However, the overriding theme of it all is FUN! Many people come along to be
part of the social atmosphere of HAG – to get away from the everyday things they
do at home and join in with the activities. Alternatively, some just prefer to
come and see our productions. You don’t need to be able to sing – or dance – or
act – or wield a paintbrush! Living close enough to come to rehearsals should do
it!
